Broken ankle sidelines midfielder

St Mirren have suffered a blow with the news that Nick Hegarty faces three months on the sidelines after breaking his ankle. The 24-year-old sustained the problem during last weekend's defeat to Inverness. The news is a major blow to Hegarty having only joined the Paisley club on transfer deadline day. St Mirren manager Danny Lennon told the club's official website: "Nick Hegarty fractured his ankle and the outlook isn't too good. It looks as if Nick will be out for a minimum of three months." Meanwhile, Lennon has had two players on trial this week - former Clyde full-back Michael McGowan and midfielder Toufik Zerara, who had a brief stint at Falkirk last season.
